Ben Folds Five - Regrets lyrics

I thought about sitting on the
Floor in second grade
I couldn't keep the pace
I thought I was the only
One moving in slow motion
While the other kids knew something I did not
But, if I acted like a clown
I thought it'd get me through it did
But that don't work no more
You're not a kid no more
I thought i'd do some traveling never did

Regrets, regrets

I thought about the hours wasted watching TV
Drinking beer
I thought about the things I thought about
Until immobilized with fear
And all the great ideas I had
And how we just made fun
Of those who had the guts to try and fail
And then I ended up in jail

Regrets, regrets

In for a day
Seems the police had make a computer mistake
Said there must be thousands like
Me with the same name
Anyway, I thought about the
Things I settled for or never tried
I never visited my grandma even once
When she was sick before she died
So I don't blame you if you
Never come to see me here again

Regrets, regrets
